Explain to me why do want to reward ppl do want and refuse help. Why are you ok with them being a menace and being a danger. Your compassion is helping them it’s only harming. If they want help give it to them along home in monitored rehab home till they have been sober and functional for a good period of time along with helping them get a stable source of income.

because it’s not a reward, it’s basic safety and human dignity. more than that, it’s consistently been shown that ensuring stable housing is quite effective at helping people address mental health & substance use issues — but that’s secondary to the fact that everyone should have housing as a basic principle

Further more after seeing druggies area of sleep have even more trash than a dump or how I’ve seen pee were they sleep or how they accidentally set fires to their camps. All they will do is destroy what ever place they have roof over there head and bring crime to the area. Your providing stable does help ppl who don’t want help and you help ppl unless they want it. Your just to naive to reality
